The annoying thing with SMS is that is relies on phone bills which are 30 days. I'm guessing to insure that there's no "fraud" or if someone doesn't pay a phone bill, OneBip (the provider we're looking into) pays the person every like ~60 days (2 phone bill months).
So that's the main problem, is that even if we offer these services, we wouldn't get the money until months later to help pay for stuff, so it ... works but it really is ... inconvenient. But like I said, we are looking to offer these services in the future. They will, however, be priced more than Paypal due to phone-transaction rates being higher (we have to pay per transaction) so to cover that, for example Donor mall access for TBC would be $7, unlike the $5 for Paypal.
Look for more information about it in the coming months, I believe I should get getting paid near the end of April from the people who helped test the SMS service almost 2 months ago. Once I verify that I did actually receive the money and it wasn't fake I'll offer it to the public after integrating it with our system.
